First question:
Which one is Pink?

The first time I heard 'Welcome to the Machine' from Wish You Were Here, I was blown away. The guitar solo is perfect.
I began a relationship ship with a man two years ago. The first thing I said to him was that he reminded me of him. He’d been told it a few times.

Wish You Were Here is my favourite Pink Floyd album. I find it more thematic, rounded and artistically mature than Dark Side of the Moon. Fabulous music.

There’s a clip here where he avoids talking about the fact that he tried to sue the band to stop them continuing with the name Pink Floyd.

A little divegeester/Waters trivia: back in the early 1980s I golf caddied for James Hunt in a round against Roger Waters. I was totally star struck by both of them but especially Waters.

I was escorted off the course, banished from ever being able to set foot on it again. In the clubhouse they actually have a picture of me "UNwanted" poster style. One time I put on a fake moustache and glasses and tried to get in. It didn't work. 😳😠😀
